Viña Ventisquero
Grey [Glacier] Single Block Trinidad Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2020
Had with Isabel, Chris & Lisa at Sushi Kim 2. Relatively smooth, but I ate too many different foods & probably changed to taste too much such that I can’t provide an accurate description. Will need to try again. ADDENDUM: Tried again at Nana & Pap’s on my birthday and it was much better. Excellent. — a year ago
